Test Driven Development (TDD) : in a Nutshell : Session (0x01)

This sequence of posts intends to cover the basic concepts of TDD, by taking excerpts from the Book: “Growing Object-Oriented Software, Guided by Tests” by Steve Freeman and Nat Pryce (published by Addison Wesley)

Note that the tools above are essential for supporting the automation of the repetitive tasks involved in testing software. However, there is a human component that must be invested in creating the initial tests, verifying their initial output, monitoring the Dashboard on a daily basis, and going after the skull of developers who break the tests… a culture of “respect for the Dashboard” must be built into the developers community of any given project.
